“If you’re angry, you count to 10,” Nutting told reporters in an offseason roundtable discussion Tuesday. “If you’re really angry, you count to 100.

Of course, the Pirates won more games last year than in any season since 1997, and the leaked financial books show that the Pirates aren't even disbursing enough money to ownership to cover income taxes, but why let the facts get in the way of tired poor-little-me bleating from the richest kids on the block?

With all the TV monies and what not, does any team have to win ballgames to make a profit these days?

Say, wasn't that the first year of Bolshevik Bud's Revenue Stealing scheme? So after 15 years on the teat, you're back where you started. Excelsior!

Shouldn't you be tying Nell to the railroad tracks somewhere?

The only reason I would ever contemplate growing a mustache would be so I could twirl the ends with a sinister laugh.

At the start of the season, I pooh-poohed the idea of the big Burnett pitcher signing. I said that the Pirates were two years away from contention, and since they weren't going to get anything out of the guy that far into the contract, because the contract would be over, they should have just kept the money until they figured out where they needed it. The reasons I gave were that the Pirate offense pretty much amounted to Andrew McCutcheon, and they had too many kid pitchers for all of them to come through at once.

I would like to apologize to all Pirates fans. Your offense did, indeed, largely consist of Andrew. But the kid pitchers were older than I had remembered them to be, and did come through, your Big Pitcher was great, and you were in serious contention until what looks like a simple lack of depth wore you down.

You've got a couple of position spots to fill, but you have a choice of which ones, because your only untouchable is Andrew. You could easily contend next year, if the ownership puts a bit more money into upgrading the bats. I made a bad prediction. I haven't had to say that about the Pirates in quite some time. Good Luck next year!

Me, I love the headline.

Mike Wallace: "C'mon Nutting, admit it! You were every bit as frustrated as the fans, weren't you?"

Nutting: "I ... I ... yes! OK yes! I was disappointed! Is that what you want to hear?"

Next week on 60 Minutes:

Mike Wallace: "Come clean Mr. President ... you have faith in America, don't you?"
Obama (hand in camera): "I don't have time for this, who are you people, get out of here!"
